RG6 lenghth & modem

This is a discussion on RG6 lenghth & modem within the Modems/Cable/DSL/Satellite forums, part of the Tech Support Forum category. Here's my problem: I currently have cable tv, phone and internet from comcast. I would like to run a RG6

Here's my problem: I currently have cable tv, phone and internet from comcast. I would like to run a RG6 line to my garage ( about 220') for internet . How would I hook it up? Would I use a splitter at the main cable then 1 line to house computer and 1 line to garage computer. Do I need another modem at garage (or can you even use 2 modems?) Is this line too long to do this? Any help would be appriciated. Thanks Woodlot

We tried cat5 before and couldn't get a signal. We assumed the run was too long. The wire was run underground thru plastic conduit and is still there. Is there a way to check the wire (continuity or something) ? As you guessed I'm not real computer savy but I get the basics. Thanks again
